Collection: Butterflies of the Central Coast

From rare coastal blues to migrating monarchs, the Central Coast region is home to some seriously special butterflies. Grab a book or pamphlet to meet some of the butterflies that call this place home, such as the endangered Smith's blue, the rare San Emigdio blue, the iconic monarch, and California's state insect, the California dogface. Protecting native plants, wildlife habitat, and wild landscapes helps ensure these butterflies continue to flutter through our region for generations to come.
